Nathaniel Dorsky (born 1943) is an experimental filmmaker and film editor who has been making films since 1964. He intends that his 16mm silent films "create a state of prayer" not by treating Buddhism as a subject but by expressing "the view that comes from Buddhism".http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathaniel_Dorsky

The Macuto Collective (TMC)In our nostalgic view of Macuto, everyday is a weekend if not carnival and liquor stores are always open and people are always half naked. In the streets, nothing is heard besides laughter and flirtation, charrascas and cencerros and on the squares and beaches tits and butt cheeks that bounce to the rhythm of some son. A city where nothing is organized, where the only sport is dancing and the only school is the malecón....http://www.themacutocollective.com/

"Halprin is one of a handful of filmmakers who remain committed to the small gauge format of Super-8 while the surrounding world becomes increasingly digital. Traditionally a format of home-movies and avant-garde filmmakers, Halprin's work takes advantage of the intimacy and flexibility that Super-8 offers. His experimental diary films focus on small details, unobserved moments, and subtle variations of color, texture, and movement that often escape filmmakers working in other formats." ...http://www.jasonhalprin.com/

29 PALMS, CA is a feature film / art piece that explores and chronicles the dreams and fantasies of a group of individuals who live in a trailer community in the Californian desert. The world depicted in the film is inspired by the photographs of German artist Stefanie Schneider in that it combines the notions of reality and fantasy and explores the resonance of both within a desert landscape and a transient culture. The characters depicted in the film, (an actress, a singer, a DJ, a motel owner and his wife, an US army soldier, a mystic, a princess, a recluse, a movie ticket seller, two hitchhikers, a doctor, a director, etc.), are to be played by both actors and non-actors. The story is constructed through the interpretation of real life communications (i.e. phone calls, emails, conversations) that have taken place as the individuals depicted in the story try to make sense of events that have occurred in real life. In this sense the story is, in part, a biography and social commentary, and the characters are the exaggerated alter egos of the individuals who play them. ...http://www.twentyninepalms.ca/

I like the Bauer. I’ve used one Bauer or another on almost all my super8mm projects. I’ve also used Nizo models, but feel most charmed with the Bauer. It’s just a loyalty thing. The Bauer was my first girlfriend and I get no thrill cheating on her. …Interview with Guy Maddinby Rick Palidwor (2010-09-11)http://www.harthouse.ca/blog/interview-guy-maddin

My name is David and I’ve been a Super 8 filmmaker (I use the term loosely) since I was 11. Given the limitless potential and practically zero-cost of digital filmmaking, it’s hard to articulate in a few sentences why I continue to work in such an antiquated medium. Sure, the sheer antiquated and obsessive process holds some appeal… working with real, tactile film is something that has stayed with me my whole life. But its also a bit more ingrained than that. From a young age, seeing images of the cameramen and film editors working with those amazing looking cameras and spools of film made me a lifelong analog film buff. For most people the Super 8 image, with it’s square, grainy image flickering by at 24 frames per second, invokes nostalgia. One of the easiest ways for a modern filmmaker to place any sequence of the story in the 50′s, 60′s or 70′s is to use Super 8 film. But for many Super 8 enthusiasts, as well as artists and photographers, this small little film gauge offers a very unique way of painting with light – creating sequences that have the haze of dreams. It’s an large, intriguing world in such a little picture frame. ...http://www.cinemasuper8.com/ | http://vimeo.com/cinemasuper8

unfinished passagesSuper 8 and 16mm to Digital Video / 2005 / 16:30Brett KashmereArchival images and a contraflow of texts trace the migration of the artist’s great-grandfather from England to the Canadian prairies. Using the shadow play of light and darkness as a metaphor for human memory, unfinished passages reframes this forced immigration/orphan experience through the developing lens of the cinema.http://vimeo.com/59546200

Dmitri Frolov was born in Leningrad in 1966. He graduated from The State University of Cinema and Television in 1990. He worked at LENFILM Studios and then for the STV film company as a cameraman, in which capacity he has worked with many independent filmmakers. He began to shoot his own films before the start of perestroika, in the early 1980s. One of his first films, The Battle of Borodino, caused a furore and did much to determine the development of the folkloric trend in cinema. He is one of the leaders of russian movievanguard in postperestroika age. He makes esthetic experiments connecting with return to dumb cinema on new level of movielanguage.https://vimeo.com/dmitrfrolov

Nazlı Dinçel - Her 16mm films are entirely hand-made by herself, from the beginning to the completion of each piece. She only uses a laboratory to finalize copies of her work for public screenings. Her process is to film, and to use hand-processing techniques to achieve desired perfection/imperfection with her imagery. If text is used, she embeds it on the film, frame-by-frame, by hand.http://www.nazlidincel.com/manifesto/

Bea Haut is an artist who works primarily with 16mm film in an expanded form. This manifests and behaves as sculpture, installations, projections, photography and printmaking. Multi dimensional in media as well as often being site responsive, these works allude to perceptions of inter-related moments, spaces, and actions in between. Regarding the mutating dialogue between the self and her surroundings, the artist also uses the stuff of the everyday as material and subject of these works.http://beahaut.com/about/

"HOW THE SKY WILL MELT" (Review)Kevin Rakestraw, 08/31/2015Three years in the making, Matthew Wade’s How the Sky Will Melt has the distinction of being an extremely rare piece of cinema for its time. A feature-length filmed on Super 8mm released into a cinematic landscape overcrowded with digital films upon digital films. Wade’s debut definitely possesses a hook intriguing enough (Super 8!) to a garner a certain amount of curiosity. ...http://filmpulse.net/how-the-sky-will-melt-review/

RICHARD TUOHY My early films were formalistic narratives, dedicated as I was then to making homages to Ozu. That's long ago. My work now is abstract and experimental, though perhaps the formalistic concern remains. My super 8 films from 2005 to 2008 represent an explosion of filmic creativity I had not really been expecting. Finishing films on super 8 can be a very direct and ‘in camera’ way of working, producing results and new stimuli very quickly. In many ways, this fruitful period has provided the foundation of my current art practice. Since 2009, when I acquired 16mm printing facilities, my work has shifted slightly to become more focussed on the possibilities of the 16mm contact printer and the laboratory. ...http://www.nanolab.com.au/film%20works.htm
